UNC Research Core Facilities are shared services that enhance and expand the collaborative capabilities of Carolina’s research enterprise.

 

To further exploit the potential of non-Pt-group metal-based spinel catalysts for the alkaline oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), a cathodic fuel cell reaction, we hereby report a strategy of ORR improvement by controlling the crystallographic facets of ultra-small CuMn2O4 spinel nanocatalysts through a developed colloidal synthesis approach.
